'Beauty And The Beast' Is Back And Better Than Ever

Disney’s live-action feature film of "Beauty and the Beast" earned the title of the most viewed trailer in its first 24 hours after being released last week. On Monday, Nov. 14, the trailer that was distributed across all social media platforms, had jaws dropping everywhere.

The Beauty and the Beast trailer drew in 127.6 million views in just one day. The previous record was set by "Fifty Shades Greyer," the second movie in the "Fifty Shades of Grey" trilogy, with 114 million views. Before that, Star Wars: The Force Awakens held the title with 112 million views.

If you can recall, there was a teaser trailer that was released back in May. This teaser consisted of the classical music, scenes of the inside and outside of the Beast’s castle, and only a super quick glimpse of Belle leaving viewers hungry for more.

This official trailer, however, is what myself and everyone else in the world was waiting for. We got to finally witness scenes featuring Belle as played by Emma Watson, and costarring Dan Stevens who plays the Beast. We even got a glance of Lumiere, Cogsworth and Mrs. Potts. If you put this trailer frame-by-frame next to the original film that was animated in 1991, they match up perfectly. I don’t know about you, but I felt so nostalgic and sentimental while watching the Beauty and the Beast trailer that I may or may not have teared up a little. Pass the box of tissues, please.

This specific Disney movie holds a very special place in my heart because my eighth grade play was "Beauty and the Beast" and I played one of the three silly girls as well as a dancing napkin. (Cue the song "Be Our Guest.") Watching the trailer is like being thrown back into our childhood and experiencing the magic once more. I think I speak for most of us when I say that March 17, 2017 (the date it’s released in theaters) cannot come soon enough!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
